CHICAGO, Oct. 28-The wheat situation
seems slowly to be getting more strength. which
10 giving slight impetus to prices. Values at
the opening this morning were slightly i'm
proved. Decembe wheat started &c higher. at
73sc. During the earlier part of the session
there was but little trading, and the market
dragged. with December about 73s a 732. The
principal excitement in wheat was wnen the
December option advanced from 73sc TO l4c
This was largely through sympathy with other
markets. AT these figures the market met
strong opposition in the shape of very liberal
offerings. December closed at 73s q 13sc. There
were rumors of buying on European account
Receipts continue quite free. Corn ruled
quiet most of the session, with trading
moderate. The market opened about
yesterday, f,uctuated within 4c range. and closed
shade lower than yesterday, with May at 4o4
045sc. Receipts were somewhat larger than
expected, and the estimated arrivals for to-
morrow show some increase This, with the
moderate offerings at times by prominent To-
cal operator, prevented any material advance
At times the market ruled frmer, due to the
stronger feeling in wheat Oats were steady
and strong in sympathy with the other mar
kets. At the same time there was very little
doing, and prices fuctuated but little from yes
terday's quotations Mess pork was the active
feature of the provision market to-day. January
opened sc lower. at $l2 80 a. IL 324. but it did
not take long for an active hog market to be felt
in the pork pit on Change, and prices began
walking right along. A long line of shorts"
bid for considerably more stuff than there
a disposition to sell. From an
opening at $12 80, there were no long stops
made until the January option was quoted at
$l2 57a. At this point there was sufficient real
izing to drive values back l0c. when 'shorts"
again took hold. and soon put the price up to
$12. 60. Both pork options were in active re-
quest but the demand was confined more par
ticularly to January. Packers helped the bulge
along by operating liberal scale through
brokers, and by this means they picked up
about all the stuff there was for sale. AS long
the market shows such decided strength. the
holders in no hurry to let go any considera-
BILE quantities. They did, however, put out
enough. when prices met their views, to make a
very active trade. January pork closed at an
advance of 321c over the opening, at $12 624
Short ribs and lard were only moderately active
January lard opened at 323c, sold at 6. 30D
40c, and closed at the latter figure: January
short ri lbs opened at 6.273c, sold at 40c. and
closed at the latter figure. The leading futures
